Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge fan of Sonic The Hedgehog. I have been ever since his first game debuted on the Sega Megadrive in 1991. So it was with great pleasure to have visited Castle Galleries in Canary Wharf, London where I viewed two outstanding art pieces celebrating Sonic’s 25th anniversary.
The one shown above is a huge painting on canvas by Robert Oxley measuring 27 x 36 inches. Viewing it on a screen means nothing. It looks like one of hundreds of fan arts that you see on the internet. But seeing it in person is a totally different experience. The size is impressive enough but you also appreciate the 3D-ness, for want of a better word, of the paint itself and how glossy those streaks of paint are. It has now got me thinking of buying one for my home, which I never would have considered had I only seen it on the internet.
This is similar to how I want people to feel when they see their photos on the albums and large wall art that I offer.
The item above is a multi-panel frame which measures 30 x 30 inches and is currently hanging proudly in my home. It is one of many options that I provide for my photography clients. It is absolutely beautiful and I admire it everyday. In fact, Castle Galleries has this exact same frame for some of their artwork so you know it is of an extremely high standard. I feel inspired to add more samples to my collection!
